i plan on going out to silverado canyon that morning and was looking for people to go i have never been and im a 2x4 as well from my understanding its a scenic fire road type of deal so mellow day to start it all out

 

sweet. i was thinking the same. lets set something up?

 

for sure man im down for it!
where at in the OC are you?

 

Awesome. I'm in Hb..
Message me your contact info. What time do you wanna meet up and go up there?

 

well since ur so close meet 830 9am time and mob it over there

 

found this on a thread not to long ago and it should help

Questions are
1) From Chapman/Jamboree, I take Chapman, and make a left on Silverado. From there I just follow the road until it turns into dirt?

Follow it through town and it ends at the trailhead.

2) How long is the trail? Once I start, how long am i driving for before I get to the other side? and where is the other side?

Depends on where you go. At the first fork the right trail heads up to the radio towers and you can get out in Corona or go further and end up in Lake Elsinore. Get a map or GPS unit and bring someone with you. The last time I was there the right trail was locked so we went left. It comes to another fork and we went left again and hit another locked gate.

3) Is it a two way trail? meaning I should be careful for head on trucks?

Yes.

Lastly, are there certain times the trail opens? I'm planning to start at 9AM.

Ususally it is open 24/7.

 

Sweet! Hopefully more tw members want to join in

 

yeah i hope so! we will see what happens... first i got to get a new corner light minor truck tragedy

 

i had me one of those last week.

 

hey guys i've never been yet but would like to join

 

hey,

sounds good

 

Sounds good let me know the details I might bring a buddy he has a tundra with a 6 inch lift 2wd also but you think he will be ok on the trails?

 

he should be just fine from everything i have heard its a mostly scenic fire road with some off shoots to play on

 

Ok thanks just wanted to make sure it wasn't to narrow anywhere where he might struggle

 

definately not its a 2 way trail from what i have heard and ive seen youtube videos of broncos and silverados out there

 

Kool looking forward to this if something does get goin

 

i am for sure going out no matter what haha i already asked for a night shift after 6pm that day just so i could have some fun haha

 

i second that. im going for sure. i already have the day off and i never have weekends off so this is definately on my priority list.

 

haha yeah same here man im back in school so im weekends only at work and cant take em off so a month in advance i asked for this day off just for this!!!! glad its gonna work out
